comfort food recipes

Mushroom soup is one of those comfort meals that I would never get tired of. A lot of my memories as a kid are tied to this bowl of goodness–from scarfing it down after swimming lessons to having it during sick days when my appetite decreased.

With it still being the middle of winter, I’m always craving for a hot bowl of soup at any time of the day. This recipe is a great homemade soup option to try as its quite simple and easy to put together.

Creamy Wild Mushroom Soup

Making the soup from scratch gives it a depth of flavor that’s earthy, savory, and utterly delicious. This recipe uses 3 different mushrooms, namely shiitake, oyster, and baby bella.

Though with a variety of mushrooms available, you can always try to switch it up as well! You can also try out this recipe with mushrooms like portobello, cremini, or porcini.

The mushrooms bring on most of the flavor in the soup. So there’s only a need for a few additional ingredients. We use chicken or veggie broth and light soy sauce for that touch of savory taste. And heavy cream is used to turn this into a wonderful creamy soup.

How To Make Creamy Wild Mushroom Soup

Start by rinsing the mushrooms and cutting it into smaller pieces.
Start by sautéing onions and garlic in a bit of olive oil over medium heat until the onions are translucent. Add all the mushrooms, the butter and the light soy sauce. Let it cook until the mushrooms browns and water is draw out, stirring occasionally (7-8 minutes). Optional step: Scoop out a few tbsp of the mushrooms to garnish for later.
Add seasonings and stir. Pour in broth or water and stir. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for 2-3 minutes before turning off the heat. Pour in heavy cream, lemon juice and stir again.
With an immersion blender, turn the mixture into your desired consistency for soup (see notes). Taste the soup and if needed, adjust to taste.
Serve in bowls and add the cooked mushrooms on top. Drizzle a bit of olive oil and chili oil on top (optional). Garnish with fresh minced parsley. Serve with bread/garlic bread. Enjoy!

Notes for Wild Mushroom Soup

Blender: You can use a normal blender if you don’t have an immersion blender. Just wait for it to cool a bit before doing so.
Soup texture: I prefer a thicker soup with a bit more texture. If you want a smoother soup, add more broth and adjust the seasonings accordingly.
Garlic bread: Serve with some garlic bread on the side for a more filling meal.
